Ah, no it hasn't yet. I'm Robin/Derek's literary executor and
along with his agent Max Jakubowski we've a plan in mind that
involves issuing it at last in English as part of a wider
reissue programme in the not too distant future..
It's very similar in tone to something like The Devil's Home
On Leave but set in Paris with a Parisian cop
protagonist.
BTW for my money the Cook masterpiece is not Dora Suarez but
He Died With His Eyes Open - a truly extraordinary
book.
